Bid of the Republic of Austria for the Relocation of the European Medicines Agency to Vienna Bid of the Republic of Austria for the relocation of the European Medicines Agency to Vienna www.emazingvienna.at 1 Summary Vienna offers – a location in the geographical centre of Europe – excellent accessibility by air and rail – a leading-edge life-science and academic research sector – the highly efficient Austrian Regulatory Agency: AGES MEA – pharmaceutical industry and expert professions at hand – a choice of eight suitable office buildings for EMA – a reliable ICT infrastructure – first-class hotels and a powerful convention industry – smoothly functioning public services – a safe environment for city dwellers – a reasonable office and housing price level – more than 700 free places in international schools – professional support for the relocation of EMA and its staff – and above all: the most liveable city in the world “VIENNA will be a prime location for EMA“ The Austrian Federal Government presents the candidature of Vienna as the future seat of the European Medicines Agency (EMA). We value EMA’s key role in protecting public and animal health in the Member States of the European Union. We want to offer the perfect conditions for the agency, its staff and its partners in the discharge of their important tasks from the first day onwards and over the long term. We are convinced that Vienna combines all the relevant factors to make our city a prime future location for EMA, in particular world class life science research, companies and top international Christian Kern academic institutions in the field that provide the talent needed Federal Chancellor for EMA to thrive. Vienna’s location in the heart of Europe comes with excellent connectivity and infrastructure that provide the ideal environment for EMA’s European and international activities, which in turn will be further supported by the availability of customised office locations for EMA’s specific requirements. Vienna has been successful in attracting international organisa- tions for decades. While each of them has different remits and requirements, they do have one thing in common: all of them already enjoy the excellent living and working conditions in Vienna that both the employees and visitors of EMA soon could also enjoy.

Puerperal septicemia, commonly called childbed fever, was the culprit, and nobody in the world’s medical or scientific community at the time knew how to control its epidemic proportions.
